Southampton   3 - 2   Hartlepool

Southampton 3-2 Hartlepool

Southampton 3-2 Hartlepool

Rickie Lambert scored his 30th goal for Southampton this season as Saints retained their faint play-off hopes.

Andy Monkhouse fired Pools into a shock early lead from close range but the strike was cancelled out three minutes later by Lee Barnard's header.

The hosts then piled on the pressure and Lambert put them in front before the break with a clinical half-volley.

Papa Waigo increased the lead after Peter Hartley's error but Neil Austin's 18-yard strike ensured a nervy finale.


Southampton manager Alan Pardew:

"We took our eye off the ball and you can't do that.

"It's a big game for a lot of these young players on Sunday and as much as we tried to get it out of their heads it obviously wasn't.

"There were a lot of errors but the most important thing was that we won. The goal scorers got us out of jail."
